Back in the day ‘witches’ were typically women who went against the norm and pushed boundaries. Today, witches are all among us as it is a more common and talked about practice. You just won’t find us wearing pointy hats, riding broomsticks, or boiling eye of newt in a cauldron — not the real ones, at least.
So, witch (<– get it?😂) cities are best for living a charmed life? With a little magic, we decided to compare the biggest US cities who have access to witchy and spiritual things like tarot readers, astrology classes, reiki, and covens. On the counter side, we also looked at cities packed to the brim with natural healers, metaphysical stores, gem stores, herbalists, etc.
